Miriam Clegg. London.

Miriam Clegg, known professionall by her maiden name Miriam González Durántez (born 31 May 1968) is a partner of international legal practice Dechert and the wife of Liberal Democrat Party Leader and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Nick Clegg. She was born in Olmedo, Spain, and now lives and works in London.

I received a call from Yo Dona. They explained me the article and they sent me the brief by e-mail. They will need four different portraits of her. One picture for the Magazine cover and three pictures for Miriam´s interview. I contacted with her personal assistant because I was wanting to see the location selected by Miriam´s team. The Friday before the shooting, I went to her office and I walked around the office because I was wanting to take some photographs in London´s streets. Finally I changed the places selected by her team for taking the pictures because the light was better and I did the PDF document for choosing the places with Yo Dona team.

Finally we arrived at Miriam´s office with all the team ( Lorena Martínez, stylist. Claudia Savage, MUA artist. Rebbeca Chang Amosoro, Hair artist. William Coronado, photography asisstant.) We had 2 hours for making the make-up, the hair, the stylism, for shooting the Yo Dona´s cover on location and 3 pictures on the street. I used a Canon 5D Mark III 35 mm Dslr with the lenses Mamiya 80 mm f/2,8 and Zeiss 50 mm f/2,8. For lighting I used a Profoto Pro 7B 1200 Flash with Profoto 120 cm Octogonal Softbox. The result is:
